Earlier this year, the fine folks of Lake Superior State University created a list of “banished” words (words that are overused and just need to stop being spoken… or spelled). In case you missed it, here was this year’s list from LSSU:
- Amazing
- Baby bump
- Shared sacrifice
- Occupy
- Blowback
- Man cave
- The new normal
- Pet parent
- Win the future
- Trickeration
- Ginormous
- Thank you in advance
While I think they did a fine job summarizing some of the most trite words in our vocabulary, here are ten more words that I think may need to be added to the list. The sheer utterance of these makes my blood boil.
- Amazeballs
- Sunday Funday
- Obsessed
- Rise and grind
- Get excited
- Just saying
- Don’t mind if I do
- Literally
- Curated
- That’s what I’m talking about
Are you guilty of any (or all) of these commonly used words? Are there any that you think should be added?

Literally makes me so cross.
Foodie aggravates me
Green, not the color,as a lifestyle
That’s so Meta!
Those are all good additions too!
I kept thinking or more obnoxious words as the day went on. I’m sure we could compile quite the list!
